What Trump Needs To Do In Debate
Jewish World Review ^ | June 26, 2024 | Ben Shapiro

Posted on 06/26/2024 9:02:05 AM PDT by lasereye

The 2024 election is Donald Trump's to lose.

Right now, he is running even with Joe Biden in all the national polls. He's running ahead in Arizona, Georgia and Nevada; he's running even in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin; he's closing within striking distance in Minnesota and New Hampshire. The map has radically expanded for him. Meanwhile, Biden's approval ratings are stagnant: he's stuck at below 40%. Americans' view of the economy remains dim, as does their view of Biden's foreign policy.

What's more, Americans' perceptions of the two candidates are unlikely to change dramatically before the election. Biden has been underwater with voters since September 2021 and his ignominious Afghanistan withdrawal. He's been losing to or dead even with Trump in the national polling since September 2023.

So far, the race has been about Joe Biden. No new information has been added to the litany of criticisms against Donald Trump since 2021. Meanwhile, Joe Biden has been the president — and he's been doing a terrible job of it, setting things on fire both at home and abroad. He's also in a state of obvious mental and physical decline.

But the debate could shift the focus back to Trump. Obviously, that's Biden's plan — and, presumably, the plan of the interlocutors at CNN. As George Stephanopoulos recently told CNN's Abby Phillip, the "most important question" is whether Trump will accept the results of the 2020 election as legitimate.

Which means that Trump had better have an answer that shifts the focus away from his views of 2020 and back toward 2024.

Keeping the focus on Biden will be key. If asked about Jan. 6 — which he surely will be — Trump should respond, "Joe, you've said I'm a threat to democracy because I don't believe I lost the 2020 election. Well, Hillary Clinton doesn't believe she lost the 2016 election, and that's apparently just fine. In reality, you're the threat to democracy: you've sicced your political allies on me in the courts, used OSHA to try to mandate vaccines for 80 million Americans, violated the Constitution to try to let people skate on their student loan debt, and violated your Constitutional oath by keeping the border open and letting through 7 million illegal immigrants. Americans care less about Jan. 6, 2021, than Nov. 5, 2024."

Again, this election is Donald Trump's to lose. That means steadily, calmly keeping the focus on the man who occupies the White House — regardless of whom Trump thinks ought to have occupied the White House in January 2021.

Sound advice imo.

Isn’t this the faux ‘conservative’ POS who “calculated” that it was better for conservatives to let Hillary win than to support Trump?

Every question presented to President Trump should be responded to with a statement that informs the listeners that he is there to make America great, not to make the questioner appear wise.

I remember Laken Riley who was murdered by an illegal invader Joe Biden welcomed in with open arms.

President Trump is under no obligation to answer questions when he is not allowed to debate his opponent.

Stick with the facts. Don’t be abrasive. He wins.

Loses his cool. Acts like a jerk. He loses.

I don’t know why he agreed to this three on one nonsense. He should’ve pushed for at least one conservative, moderator, like Dan Bongino or Chris Stigall, or someone from our side with his best interest at heart.

I’m sure he has a plan, he’s not a dumb person… but I expect zero impartiality from the two CNN assclowns he will also be debating.

I think "I" would have jumped at the invite also, even not having thought it through, because I knew I had time to formulate a good response to what will be the political super bowl.

The handlers didn't think the weekend at Joey's star could be trusted to make a simple speech that would be more easily floated into numbed brains.

I think they were taken aback when President Trump did accept it so quickly.

They have the mastur(de)bater, Jill, 16 pros, a complete Hellywood crew with props, the best drugs on the planet, rescue vehicles and personnel outside waiting, a kneepadded, sycophant control, ala CNN and company, more money than they know how to spend (wasting is not spending) and a few etcetera's that'll come to me after I hit "post" . . . .



'Cause with all that, they still ain't too sure if they can pull this off.

Trump can’t let Biden get under his skin. I don’t think he will.

Trump will easily get under Biden’s skin and Biden’s anger will take over.

Biden will calculatedly shift the focus of the debate to whether
Trump accepts the results of the 2020 election as “legitimate.”

Trump had better have a cogent answer. His views on 2020 are well-known.

And don’t interrupt Biden. Let him show the world what a senile old fool he it is.

You’re right. They’re going to try to hit all of Trump’s nerves.

I won’t be watching the damned thing. I’ll check in on FR.

He’s saying that Trump should dodge the issues of 2020 being stolen, Jan 6 being a setup, and the weaponizing of the intel agencies against We the People.

That is the polar opposite of what President Trump should do.

The reason for every ounce of President Trump’s popularity - the reason he has rises like a Phoenix every time they strike him with another death blow - is because he tells the unvarnished truth - full speed ahead - damn the torpedoes.

And this crybaby Shapiro and all the other crybaby establishment Republicans want him to accept the results of 2020? Screw that.

If he does that he loses everything - if he does that the MAGA movement dries up and becomes dust in the wind - and let’s face it: that’s exactly what these fake Uniparty conservatives want.

And the “convicted felon” issue:

“There is not one person watching this who wouldn’t become a ‘convicted felon’ if a corrupted DOJ was sicced on him or her. Period.”

By stating the facts. Inflation is high and real wages are down.
